etiquette of (looks around) smoking

I know smoking is bad subject to talk about, as it is bad for us. However it is here, and until the government says "you must be born before this date to buy tobacco products" to end smoking with one generation, then it will carry on.

So why are you posting about smoking. I here you thinking. Students that smoke, or more to the point Students that don't smoke in the right place, the smoking shelter. and instead take shelter under a glass canopy right in front of the main doors to the college.  Most argue that the smoking shelter is small for the amount of smokers the college has.

I agree, the shelter is too small for the amount of smokers trying to use it, however, standing so no one can get into the build without getting a face full of smoke is not on. Sometimes when it is raining I stand in the bike shed, and move if someone comes for their bike. I know it not the Designated Smoking Area. It is out of the way, not affecting non smokers and it dry.

Why do I do it, simply I have a basic etiquette for smoking

1) Try not to standing near a doorway while smoking, People will have to walk through your smoke to get into the building and it will be blown in after them
2) If in a group that contains non smokers, stand downwind.
3) Never blow smoke in anyone's face.
4) Generally be aware of where you smoke is going and be considerate of non smokers.

I do think that if all us smokers follow these basic steps, then non smokers wont complain so much about us.

why!

I have not posted for the last couple of week as I have been preoccupied, trying to get a doctor requested follow up appointment.

I hear you saying "why trying". well my GP surgery has had the wonderful idea of playing around with the appointment system.

First it was speak to triage nurse, then the receptionist could book me but not for the date I want as the system only does two weeks. Then it was back to having to speak to the triage nurse, who says "We are now doing appointment on the day, ring up at 8am the day you want an appointment and book it for that day"

Great way to make you feel like they want to help you. does it matter I fighting the black dog and running low on anti depressants.
 
Why Can't they just get a system stay with it, instead of changing it every week confusing people trying to get a appointment.

I don't know about anyone else, however my boss like a bit of notice that I am going to be going to a GP appointment. and I try to get them outside my working hours if possible.  

I just wonder sometimes what priority mental health care has.
